#302After my former employer had a successful exit, I spent a few months helping to integrate with the new parent company. Once that was done to satisfaction, though, all but four members of our tech department were laid off--including me. I used the bonus payout, my severance and some investment success to finance my own startup...
My first product is meant to help businesses with eCommerce stores (particularly those powered by WooCommerce for now) keep track of inventory counts and locations:

#303Asked 144 people a question ‘What is the most exciting trend in technology for you in next 15 years?’. Got amazing answers. There were many standard ones like ‘AI and Cryptocurrencies’. Most interesting responses started with ‘I am not really a tech-savvy person, but...’.
Try it. Ask personally and select people with different backgrounds. Let people speak and just listen.
I plan to summarize it in an article in 2018. It has been fun to compare this to the current Gartner's Hype Cycle* for example. Automated analysis of such free-form answers (and scaling to millions of answers) would be interesting to work on.

#304Holberton School - https://www.holbertonschool.com/ a two-year alternative to college to become a Software Engineer. The school is free to students until they find a job, then they contribute with a % of their salary. After only 9 months, many students find internships and jobs at companies like NASA, Apple, LinkedIn, Tesla, Dropbox... It's a life-changing experience for many of our students, and it also changes the…
Cool that I stumbled across this, I'll be attending Holberton beginning next week.

#306I focused on completing my Master's in Biomedical Engineering. I looked at augmented reality for guidance during a surgery itself. The clinical application was the (robot-assisted) laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, aka kidney cancer surgery.
Knowing that surgeons use ultrasound imaging during the surgery to scan the kidney, I sought to answer the question of how can we leverage this information to guide the surgeon and inform them of where their tools were in relation to the tumour at any given time?

#307Earlier quoted context omitted.
I had an opportunity to work for them but declined because I didn't want to look at the content. Tell me: how much of that do you have to actually go through? And to other devs: if you have thick skin and an iron stomach, go work for them.
No chance of contributing without a thick skin? e.g. maybe there are some infrastructure or generic dev needs as well, which do not involve working on actual "content"?
It’s a small team, so as a developer I’m not working “on content”, but definitely working “around” it if that makes sense. It’s not as bad as it could be, but I’d say somebody should at least be aware of the potential and take it seriously, for personal wellness sake.

#309Most of the startups that I have been a part of have been deeply dysfunctional. I wanted to document this, by describing what I'd seen, so I wrote "How To Destroy A Tech Startup In Three Easy Steps". The intro is here:

#310I worked on two cool open source music technology projects called ListenBrainz [1] (basically an open source version of Last.FM backed by the MetaBrainz Foundation, the people behind MusicBrainz) and AcousticBrainz [2] (a project trying to crowdsource acoustic information about music and release it as public domain). We released a beta for ListenBrainz over the summer and I've been working on data dumps for both List…
Both projects look fantastic!
How does listenbrainz differ-from / compare-to Libre.fm?
